Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Employing a series of presentation and publications in many venues is the only one that implies a widespread dissemination of the research findings.
An open forum for exchange of ideas is excellent, but is not sufficient in the eyes of outcomes researchers. Outcomes researchers consider wide dissemination of the results to providers and consumers to promote change in health care practices.
Presenting the findings, even at a prestigious conference, is not sufficient in the eyes of outcomes researchers. Outcomes researchers consider wide dissemination of the results to providers and consumers to promote change in health care practices.
Publishing in a scholarly journal is not sufficient in the eyes of outcomes researchers. Outcomes researchers consider wide dissemination of the results to providers and consumers to promote change in health care practices.
